2009 in lists: books read
I read a bought a few more books last year than I did cds…what can I say, they are 1/3 the price and oh, right, books are awesome.
I don’t have the energy to manually link to the reviews – I probably reviewed most of them. For the sake of having a link to brandish, here’s one to everything I categorized a book review – which only goes back to last year for some reason.
So let’s see… fantasy series, sci-fi series, random history books, writing books, and one literary fiction. Go figure.
I think the list is chronological, any kind of implied ranking would take entirely too much time, so that’s not the case. I was thinking I actually read more than this, but I guess not? Or maybe I re-read stuff. Meh! Onward and pageward.

I’m mad at you for the Sabertooth ones, of course. I’d make a list of what I read in 2009 but it’s none. I’m pretty sure about that. Yep.
You sir, are a villain and a cad.
Indubitably.
